I accept this document, but we have got some derogations and I am seeking clarification on those. I have asked my question about the 40 kg box, but I am making the point that we have enough regulation and do not need more. I am all for health and safety. Agricultural contractors and farmers need engagement with the Health and Safety Authority and the Road Safety Authority, but we do not need more regulation because the majority of agricultural contractors never drive on the roads. We do not need a sledge-hammer to crack a chestnut.
